"The president said this in front of eight or nine members and staffers at (Trump) Bedminster."



In an article published on Tuesday, Alan Shipnuck reported that Trump said that the “White House is a real dump” in a candid moment at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey.

Trump fired back on Twitter, calling the report “totally untrue” and “fake news.”

Shipnuck explained to the Golf.com podcast on Wednesday that he was certain of his reporting.

Before publishing the article, Shipnuck said that he spoke to White House aide Hope Hicks, who demanded a retraction.

“It’s not a lie,” Shipnuck recalled telling Hicks. “The president said this in front of eight or nine members and staffers at [Trump] Bedminster.”

And his base will be on board with the comment.

Seems like good a time as any for me to make this observation:

What kind of train-wreck version of capitalism do we have that people like this rise to the top?

Trump says something outlandish, offensive or incriminating, then he and his flack will all scream "Fake news!" "Bitter Liberals!" or "Clinton/Russia!"

Repeat ad nauseum.

This toxic growth on our democracy can't be excised soon enough.
